She couldn't believe that he was alive; the shock of seeing him quickly took a hold of her and she fell to the ground. She breathing became heavy and she began clinch her jaw fiercely. Not a word was spoken; Hyde remained emotionless, he didn't say or do anything he just stood there.

Donna looked at Eric but he shook his head, he didn't know what to say to her. He was just as shocked as she was to find Robert and Courtney alive. Marissa however knew what this meant, tears started to stream down her face. Kitty picked her up and took her away from all of the drama. Donna walked over to Jackie and placed her hand on her back but she brushed it off violently and rose from the ground.

She slowly walked up to Robert; she held her chin up high and looked in him the face.





"You're not Robert." She said.

Everyone looked at her in shock; Valerie peered out from her hiding place at Jackie's words. She was not suppose to say that. She was suppose to except that it was Robert and dump Hyde. Why did she say that? There was no way that she was going to let Jackie marry Hyde; but thankfully he was able to come up with an explanation.





"Listen Jackie I know you're mad and all but it is me. Jackie I never told you this but I have a twin brother and he's the one that was kill. I've been imprisoned all this time." Robert said.

"Okay so then how is Courtney still alive?" She asked.

"Courtney was never dead; my mom kept her safe all this time. Some men I use to do business with wanted me dead so we made it look like I had died but my brother somehow got himself mixed up. I was going to play dead and then escape on the day of the funeral. That's one of the reasons why Courtney's coffin was a closed casket." Robert said.

Valerie hoped and prayed that Jackie would by the story.



"So what was you twin brother doing at the airport and who was that child he had in the car?" Jackie asked.

"It was his daughter." He said.

"You sacrificed your niece and brother for your life?" Jackie asked.

"I did it for Courtney and me; but things got out of hand and I was then kidnapped by my business associates." He said.

"What do you want from me?" Jackie asked.

"You know exactly what I want." Robert said.

"And if I don't?" She asked.

"Well, you'll never see your three year old daughter again." He said.





Valerie smiled; there was no way that Jackie would marry Hyde now. She would never allow her three year old daughter to not have her mother around and Hyde wouldn't be selfish and make her stay either. Jackie would be back with Robert soon. Valerie felt someone tap her shoulder and quickly turned around to find Robert's mother standing there waiting.





"I was wondering how much longer it would take you to get here; I was beginning to think that this wedding might actually happen." She said.

"Well, I'm here and I delivered now I want what's mine." Valerie replied.

"Here you go." She said and then handed her a check." She said.

"I'm glad I was able to find Robert's twin brother so soon." She said.

"So Robert's really dead huh?" She asked.

"Of course he is I should since I'm the one that killed him and his niece." She said.

"Well just you wait and see, Jackie's might be a stuck up bitch but there's no way she's going to leave "Robert" for Hyde when she has a three year old child to think about." Valerie said.

"I hope for your sake." She said.





"If I divorce you, I can fight for custody of Courtney." She said.

"With what money; your family has no more money and no more power. So how do you expect to fight me?" He asked her.

"I will." Jackie said.

"Well, Jackie is that your decision?" He asked her.

"Steven I want to..."

"I think you need to think about this some more Jackie." Hyde said.

"But..."

"Jackie, I think you haven't thought this through." Hyde said.

"You know what I need some alone time." She said and then walked off.





"Jackie wait up." Donna called out to her friend.

"Donna where's the keys to your rental?" Jackie asked her through tears.

"There right here; why?" She asked.

"Just give them to me." She demanded.

"Jackie..."

"Now Donna." She demanded again.





Donna reluctantly gave her the keys and Jackie got into the car and drove off. She watched her friend drive away and then hurried back as fast as she could to. Standing there was Robert, Courtney, Hyde, and Eric. Robert turned to leave but Eric called after him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Eric asked him.

"I'm going to go look for Jackie." Robert said.

"No you're not; you're staying right here." Eric said.

"I wouldn't start with me Eric or I'll tell everyone what happened at a particular party seven summers ago." Robert said.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Eric said.

"I'm talking about how you raped Valerie and fathered her son Evan." Robert said.

"WHAT, NO YOU'RE LYING. YOU CAME HERE TO RUIN JACKIE'S LIFE AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO START CRAP WITH ME." Eric yelled.

"It's the truth and I've got proof." Robert said.

"Okay so let's see it." Eric said.





Robert pulled out a white envelope from his pocket and handed it to Eric. Eric opened up it up and found pictures of him and Valerie at the Foreman's place. Eric's became speechless.





"Hyde I don't even remember sleeping with Valerie much less raping her; this can't be right." Eric said.

"Is that the party we went to right after Jackie left Point Place?" Hyde asked him.

"Yeah it is why?" Eric asked back.

"Because Valerie played us both; she never was pregnant with my child she was pregnant with your child; so how did you know all of this Robert?" Hyde asked.

"I used to be a good friend of hers." He replied.

"How am I going to tell Donna?" Eric asked.







"Don't worry about me Eric; I heard everything. You're a disgusting pig. No wonder why you wanted to adopt Evan you've know along he was your son. How could you Eric? Were trying to get back at me? Cause if you were you sure did a fine job at it." Donna cried.

"Donna..."

"Forget it Eric; I hate you and I never want to see you again." Donna said and then ran off.





(Later ON...)





Jackie sat on the edge of the cliff peering down into the ocean. The warm breeze brought her little enjoyment. She couldn't stop crying; it wasn't fair for her to have to make this kind of decision. She had already decided to divorce Robert but for some reason Hyde told her she needed to think about it more. What more was there to think about? She loved him and not Robert; so why did it feel like he was pushing her towards Robert. Jackie sat there by herself for a little longer but it wasn't long before Hyde had found her.





"I knew you would be here." Hyde said.

"Yeah this is my favorite spot." Jackie said.

"I know it is that's why I came here first." He said.

"Listen Steven I've made mind up; I want to divorce Robert and marry you still." She said.

"I see." He said.

"What do you mean I see? You do agree with me right?" She asked him nervously.

But he said nothing and Jackie knew what his answer was.

"Steven why don't you want me to stay here with you; why are you pushing me away?" Jackie asked him.

"Jackie, you can't stay; you have a three year old daughter and a husband. Don't make things any worse than they already are." Hyde said.

"You can't make me leave." Jackie said.

"I can't but I can cut loose; Jackie I don't want to be with you anymore, you can stay if you want but it won't be because of me; because our relationship is over with." He said.

"Why do you get to make all of decisions? Why can't I make my own decisions? Why do you get to tell me who I'm going to be with? If I leave now because of you, I promise you that this time I won't be able to forgive you and I won't come running back to you; is that what you want?" She asked.

She waited nervously for him to answer her; he looked up at her and shook his head yes. Jackie got up to run from him but tripped over part of her gown and fell. Her knee began to bleed from the cut; she covered her face with her hands and began to cry.

"Jackie are you alright?" He asked her.

"Why bother asking me since it's obvious you don't care about me anymore Steven. Just go away and leave me alone." She said.

He watched as blood began to soak her white gown; he should have know that it was too good to be true but the fact was that it was she needed her three year old daughter more than anything and he knew deep down that she wouldn't be able win a custody battle when she had no money and no real job other than helping him out. He would never take her away from her three year old daughter; that was something he would never do he knelt down beside her and kissed the top of her head before leaving her one last time. Jackie picked her head up and watched him walk out of her life once again.





It would be many years later before he ever saw or heard from her again.
